Sharon Smith: Twilight of the American Dream

mar 92

American workers once dreamt that every generation would see its children grow up more prosperous, better housed, better educated and healthier than those who went before. Now that dream lies in ruins as the US economy pitches into a recession so deep that many are comparing it to the Depression of the 1930s.
Sharon Smith of the American International Socialist Organisation examines the social crisis in the US-the poverty and sinking wages, the inner city decay and the inadequate health service, the racism and the attack on the labour movement. `Twilight of the American Dream' shows how class is re-entering the vocabulary of US politics as George Bush, only a year ago the hero of the Gulf War, sees his presidency begin to unravel.

Mike Haynes' `Class and crisis' uses original material to present a comprehensive analysis of how the market has already failed the ordinary people of eastern Europe. He concludes by looking at how the growing threat of nationalism and fascism can be met by socialist politics.
